thank you for lovely words about my new sweater :) i am sooo proud of the result (i am a fresh knitter) despite the rolling end of the neck. i have used alpaccawool, fantastic both to knit with and to wear! the pattern i have used is only in norwegian but check out this pagehttp://www.garnstudio.com/lang/en/kategori_oversikt.phpi think you would find an almost similar pattern there in english :)
